When the goddess Artemis goes missing, she is believed to have been kidnapped. And now it's up to Percy and his friends to find out what happened. Who is powerful enough to kidnap a goddess? They must find Artemis before the winter solstice, when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the titans. Not only that, but first Percy will have to solve the mystery of a rare monster that Artemis was hunting when she disappeared—a monster rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus forever.
So this is the third book in the Percy Jackson series and guys, It just got real!
So in this book a lot of new characters were introduced to us. We have the Di angelo siblings; Bianca and Nico, we also have Thalia (the girl who used to be a tree) and Zoe Nightshade. Lets start with the Di Angelo siblings.

The heroic son of Poseidon makes an action-packed comeback in the second must-read instalment of Rick Riordan's amazing young readers series. Starring Percy Jackson, a "half blood" whose mother is human and whose father is the God of the Sea, Riordan's series combines cliffhanger adventure and Greek mythology lessons that results in true page-turners that get better with each instalment.
In this novel, The Sea of Monsters, Percy sets out to retrieve the Golden Fleece before his summer camp is destroyed, surpassing the first book's drama and setting the stage for more thrills to come..
I really loved this book. It took me all of 2 days to read this book!
So this book picks up where The Lightning Thief left off. I really enjoyed all the plot developments, the twists and turns that ended in such a cliffhanger! (Its a good thing I bought all the books!)
I really enjoyed the plot. It was gripping and I could not put this book down. The plot also had that perfect adventure-story fast pace that I love.

Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus' master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus' stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
Oh my gods guys! This book was awesome. I was a bit sceptical about reading it as I've seen the film a few years ago when it came out first, and I didn't like it. I was pleasantly surprised by how much better the novel was. Rick Riordan creates a world of Demigods and Half Bloods that almost lives off the page by how well it is written and by how huge the fandom surrounding this series is. Of course I had heard the hype surrounding this series, and I'm glad to say it lives up to that hype and them some!
